Choices Abide

Biology left us with six reflexes:

To freeze,

Attempt flight,

Under opposition submit,

Stage f.. f.. fr.. fr-ight,

Finally faint,

Or stand up and FIGHT.

All evolutionary functional defenses,

Against acute attack,

Act cute and one may stay chronic,

Stunned, a rabid rabbit pulled out of a hat,

Leading Alice down a hole, reality ironic,

Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatter, & a Cheshire cat.
